Two metal rods $1$ and $2$ of same lengths have same temperature difference between their ends. Their thermal conductivities are $K_1$ and $K_2$ and cross-sectional areas are $A_1$ and $A_2$,respectively. If the rate of heat conduction in rod $1$ is four times that in rod $2$,then:

  • A
    $K_1 A_2 = 4 K_2 A_1$
  • B
    $K_1 A_1 = 4 K_2 A_2$
  • C
    $K_1 = 4 K_2$
  • D
    $K_1 A_1^2 = 4 K_2 A_2^2$
